How can early interactive novels, hypertext fictions and narratives be maintained and kept accessible? These forms of born-digital literature were produced before or shortly after the mainstreaming of the World Wide Web with proprietary software and on formats now obsolete. Preserving and extending them for a broad study by scholars of book culture, literary studies, and digital culture necessitate they are migrated, translated, and emulated. This seminar will address three key challenges facing such efforts: (1) precision of references; (2) enhanced media translation; and (3) media integrity.
